All birds are different and like different things but excess treats are not always the best for them. Try to give treats only once or twice a week... don't give them regular feed or scratch at the same time. Reg feed or scratch in the morning, then treats in the afternoon or the other way...
I don't know if you would call it a treat, but yesterday the girls got their first rat/mouse. They were playing keep-a-way but I did see that many of the girls had a piece to themselves!
The other day we mixed up some plain yogurt, scratch, rabbit pellets, lay pellets, hi-protein crumble, cayenne pepper, and mixed berries. Stirred it all up and froze it in little loaf pans. Since it should get close to 100 today, I gave them a couple of loaves.... WOW, did they go crazy over it...
I would use the goat feed a little at a time and mix it with; scratch, chicken pellots or crumble, oatmeat and just about anything else like shredded greens and bake them into little chicken muffins.... My can't eat them fast enough.... Nor can I get out of the way fast enough!
Raw is ok, but cooked is better. When raw potatoes turn green they are harmful to chickens. Green potatoes contain solanine- another toxic substance. It’s ok to feed your flock regular or cooked potatoes, but avoid those green ones. - See more at...
A couple of ideas; you can shred them and mix with oatmeal and scratch, shred and mix w/oatmeal, scratch, oyster shell, fruits and nuts mixed into an egg and syrup mixture and bake into muffins (mine love, love, love these) or you can mix rabbit pellets in with their feed pellets.
Oh boy were they spoiled today...... warm oatmeal mixed with scratch, scoop of cooked corn, turkey Krackett dust, starter mash, rabbit pellets, and buttermilk. Later, they were surprised with chicken muffins....and they only returned 4 eggs, then they knocked a pan out of my hand....which caused...
My chickens love just about all greens (I don't give them tomato greens), in any form, sliced, diced, whole, or even finely chopped and put into suet blocks or muffins.
They say that extra corn in the diet causes a rise in body temps as it digests, thusly cutting back on corn during the hotter days for the same reason.
Chilly outside this morning. Mixed up some hot oatmeal, mixed in fruit cocktail, pasta salad, and blended up old baby spinach with some milk. It looked like a lumpy shamrock shake... I got splattered........
